Th* apparent certainty of Woodrow Wil-
son’s unopposed renomination by the St. Louis
convention serves as a reminder that unani-
mous renominations are not always unmistak-
able indications of re-election. Grover Cleve-
land was renominated at St. Louis in 1838 with
a wild hurrah, but when it came to the election
in November some votes were lacking to enti-
tle him to continued occupancy of the white
house. Nominated after a fierce contest in
Chicago in 189a, Grover was again swept into
the presidential office by a landslide that aston-
ished the natives. Is history likely to repeat
itself in the first particular ?

Let the farmers of the Yoakum country
plant plenty of feed stuff. Cane, millet, sudan
grass, peanuts, cowpea*; there is plenty of time
to plant all of these.—Yoakum Times.
The way the season is coming along so far
it gives promise of just the land of weather to
make forage crops grow to the limit. With
plenty of feed for the stock, times are never
hard on the farm.
Carranza has never toted fair. He has
hedged, dodged, avoided direct replies, ignored
imperative communications from this govern-
ment and has been even more defiant than was
Huerta when he refused to salute the flag.
Huerta was ten to one better than Carranza.
He fought in the open. Carranza has been
fighting with every interest and every power
where he thought he might secure funds or
backing.
The one faculty wanting in him to make him
an aggressor was bravery, or, perhaps, utter
recklessness. Obregon appears to have fur-
nished this, more, however, of recklessness
than bravery.
Hatred for the Americans is the dominating
spirit with Mexico.
It is not on paying in kind that this gov-
ernment will proceed. It is on the higher
plane of humanity. While the leaders in
Mexico, men of sufficient education and en-
lightenment to know what they are doing, are
rushing their country into a war, the com-
mon people know not what they are doing.
They would welcome the coming of an army,
a new -ruler, a protectorate, anything that
would relieve them from the present trying
conditions. The leaders do not think of the
common people. Selfishness alone, coupled
with towering ambition and a burning desire
for wealth and a life of ease, represents the
average leader in Mexico.
If Mexico must make war with the Unized
States, the result is not to be questioned. All
the belligerent forces of the country, Car-
ranzistas, Villistas, Zapatistas, all of them will
be subdued, a protectorate will be placed over
the country and the people relieved of their
burden* which have impoverished them to the
limit •
The United States has a precedent to which
it can point with pride. •A downtrodden peo-
ple were suffering in Cuba. They rebelled.
They were being sacrificed and annihilated.
The United State* told Spain such conduct on
its part must cease. Spain did not heed. Spain
was promptly and completely whipped, Cuba
and its people were freed, the United States
placed a protectorate over the country for a
time, all little uprisings looking to other rev-
olutions were quickly suppressed and today
the island and its people are peaceful and pros-
perous.
It cost the United States some money and
some lives. The result has proven that it was
worth the price.
The Mexican people must be freed from
themselves, just as the Cubans were freed
from themselves and Spain also. >
Let Obregon throw down the glove. Uncle
Sam has never been bluffed by a real nation,
let alone one in the condition in which Mexico
now finds itself.
When it is all over Mexico will go on to
a glorious standing in the world of nations.
It must be purged by fire, however, before it
will try to be good.

Getting His Own Back.
Charlie was the cashier in the one bank in
a little country town. He had been engaged
to May Brown; but, alas! they quarreled.
"And please remember," said Mary, in tear-
fully haughty tones, as she handed back the
ring, "that when we meet again, we meet as
perfect strangers.”
A few days .later the fair maid entered the
bank to cash a check. Of course, Charlie was
on duty. He took the slip of paper, eyed it
back and front, and then, instead of counting
out the money, handed back the check.
Hi* time for revenge had come!
"I’m sorry, madam/’ he said coldly, "but it
is against the rules of the bank for the cashier
to cash checks for perfect strangers. You must

Our real trouble is with Mexico and not
Germany. In fact we have- a better standing
with the Germans than with the Mexicans.—
Ballinger Ledger. ,
It is a little hard on Germany to even com-
pare it for a minute with Mexico. It is one of
the greatest nations of the world, an educated,
enlightened people, while the present Mexico
is'a seething mass of revolution, rapine and
murder. Of course the Mexicans do not treat
Americans with respect. They respect no*
country and no peoples until an iron heel is
placed on their necks.

Some southern republicans must be getting
the idea they have a chance to win nationally
this year. They are beginning to send contest-
ing delegations—* sure sign that the leader*
are falling out among themselves over who
shall be official pie-dispenser.—Denton Record-
Chronicle.

egates from the south to the republican con-
ventions had the time of their lives?

varieties will also do well and the difference
in the ripening season permits a steady market-
ing for several weeks.
President Lee J. Rountree of the National
Editorial association is shelling the wood* for
delegate* to the next annual meeting of the
association which convenes in the city of New
York on June 19. Great preparations have
been made for a splendid sight seeing trip en
route and a most entertaining stay in Gotham.
Texas is only one of forty-eight states, but it
seems that the Texas newspaper men are in
strong Torce in the official cast, there being,
besides President Rountree of the Commercial
of Georgetown in'the leading role,'Sam P.
Harbin of the Echo of Richardson, and sec-
retary of the Texas Press association, on the
executive committee, and Harve P. Nelson of
the Greenville Banner on the committee on
constitution and by-laws. Former Lieut. Gov.
Will Mayes, now at the head of the school of
journalism of the state university, is also down
for one of the principal addresses. It would
be a profitable thing to do if the Chambers of
Commerce of our cities would provide some
literature regarding the greatness and grandeur
of the Lone Star state and supplement it with
a good sized appropriation for log rolling pur-
poses at the coming meeting. This will be the
best chance any section ever had to get $1000,-
000 worth of free advertising by promptly rec-
ognizing the opportunity. We will be consid-
ered a lot of pikers by the profession even if
we do not seize the present opportunity to
ask for a lot of good space in the papers of
the United States to tell about the country
which can produce such good specimens of our
crops as Roundtree, Harbin, Nelson and
Mayes.

Joerger says that iv bis section so far, there
has been very little rain this spring and that
it will be much welcomed by the farmers.
Uncle Jimmy Noten, one of the big farmers
of Travis county who lives near Horesbys-
Bend, is perhaps the biggest berry grower in
the county. He grows dewberries which are
indigenous to this section, and blackberries
which do equally as well in large quantities.
The product of his berry patches is valued at
more than the total product of the average
farm in Texas, and is a “side line” that doe*

Mexico, as represented by Obregon, is ar-

that, it is mean. -13
The quasi leader* (the word is used advised-
ly, for they never know how long they may
lead) are ungrateful.
The United States made possible the rule of
Carranza. Without recognition by" this gov-
ernment and the allowance of munition* of
war to enter that country, Carranza would not
have lasted fifteen minutes.
That Carranza has failed, was proven when
Vill and his bandit following were allowed to
cross the border and murder and burn at Co-
lumbus.
Carranza admitted he was helpless. He
granted permission to the United States to
send troops to hunt down the bandit. He
' promised co-operation. He did not keep his
promise.
On the contrary, he tried from the beginning
to hamper the American troops in their quest.
He refused the use of the railroads. His troop*
attacked the Americans He made no effort
to aid in the search for Villa.
It is the general belief, and there is good
ground for it, that he secretly aided Villa in
his concealment.
The report of Villa’s death and the promise
to bring his body to the border for identifica-
tion, was a fabrication, pure and simple, and I
was a part of the deception practiced by Car-
ranza since his recognition by the United
States.
